Research Training of the Effects of Toxic Substances on the Lungs. (FY91 AASERT)

Abstract

Allison and Brian will continue to work on the chronic jet fuel exposure research project. However, Allison will also participate in our magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) project. We are attempting to develop a portable MRI system for deployment on either the Space Shuttle or Space Station. In addition, we are studying the possibility of using MRI in our toxicology experiments to determine changes in blood flow and organ perfusion after exposure to environmental toxins. Both Allison and Brian are intelligent students and I expect them to maintain their high level of performance in their coursework.
